Random Storykeeper had the best blend of composition and sound design. Worked beautifully.

NickC was good, but his ending didn't work for me.

MisaelK's constrained circumstances with a computer not set up for the task hobbled him a bit.

I honestly love underwater themed pieces, the instrument choices really set the scene. I feel these pieces were most on-point.

I also liked Koekepans entry, It had a very "Metroid" feel to it ^^

Random-storykeeper: lovely, great tunes and tones.

NickC: super pads! loved the sounds.

GreyHooves: an improvement from your usual stuff, keep it up! I liked the way the rhythms play with each other, without being too overwhelming.

GUH this is a tough one, but I'm going to go with the entries where I felt the most immersed underwater. I really loved everyone's entries this week, though.

1) "The Musings Of A Sea Animal" - There's something about chiptune delayed chords and release that really suit the underwater narrative here. I love the sparseness of the music; it gives this feeling of being able to take in the wonder and beauty of this world you are conveying sonically.

2) "Turtles are cool" - When I heard that solo low string, I was like, "I'm not really sure about this piece". The moment 0:16 hits with those arps though, I was sold. There are some interesting sound design choices here that made this entry unpredictable to listen to at times, but in a good way. Although I love the guitar at the end, it feels super dry for some reason. :P

3) "Weird Turtle" - Super immersive right from the start. I love everything about that square lead, from its melody to the timbre. It's too bad it was this short! That's definitely worth continuing.

GreyHooves and Koekepan were also strong contenders for votes.
